QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT
Period ending 30 June 2025
HIGHLIGHTS
Investigator Resources Limited (ASX: IVR) continues to advance its portfolio of silver-focused
assets in South Australia, with key groundwork completed ahead of planned drilling activity in
the second half of 2025.
Black Hill Earn-in JV (including the Athena Prospect within the Paris Silver Corridor):
Planning underway for initial drilling at Athena, a high-potential but historically
underexplored silver target located ~11km southeast of Paris. A gravity survey
commencing in August will assist with drill targeting.
Originally drilled for iron ore, Athena was not originally assayed for silver. After the Paris
discovery, selected pulps were re-assayed and reported in 2013, returning standout results
including 5m @ 493g/t silver from 71m (including 1m @ 950g/t in hole 12BWR020)1, and
also revealing that many holes had been stopped within silver mineralisation. No follow-up
drilling has been conducted since 2013.
IVR entered into an Earn-In Heads of Agreement in April to explore for silver and base
metals1.
Athena is seen as a natural extension of the Paris district, with strong potential to add scale
and value.
Curnamona Project:
IVR’s maiden drilling campaign at Curnamona will commence in September, targeting
copper and gold mineralisation across multiple high priority prospects with coincident
gravity, magnetic, IP and soils anomalies.
CORPORATE
$4.3 Million Placement Completed:
Strong support received from institutional and sophisticated investors.
Jupiter Asset Management participated in the placement, reflecting confidence in
Investigator’s development pathway.
Funds will support near-term drilling within the 15km-long Paris Silver Corridor, including
Athena, as well as multiple gold-copper targets at Curnamona.
New Managing Director Appointed:
Lachlan Wallace commenced as Managing Director on 1 July 2025. Lachlan brings
extensive development and corporate experience to lead IVR through its next growth
phase.

OPERATIONS
Exploration
Subsequent to the end of the Quarter, Investigator provided an update to the market on its exploration activity,
(ASX 1 July). Exploration activity is set to increase in the second half of 2025, with planning well underway.
The current status of key programs is summarised below:
a) Re-analysis of historic drill pulps from Athena. In progress: Re-analysis of historic drill pulps from the
Athena prospect (formerly Sunday Iron) within the Black Hill Earn-In to JV project returned a historic
intersection of 5m @ 493g/t silver from 71m depth in hole 12BWRC0201. Sample pulps from drilling have
been dispatched to an alternate laboratory for confirmatory analysis of this intersection, in addition to
multi-element analysis of other relevant drilling in the vicinity which had limited analysis historically.
b) Gravity survey at Black Hill (Paris Silver Corridor extension). Planned: A gravity survey covering the
key south-easterly extension of the Paris Silver Corridor at the Black Hill Earn-In to JV project1, which
includes Athena, is scheduled to commence in early August. This survey will support improved structural
interpretation and targeting of drilling.
c) Planning and permitting of drilling within the Paris Silver Corridor. Planned: Preparation and
permitting is underway for follow-up drilling at Peterlumbo and Black Hill, including targets at Perseus,
Manto and Athena. This includes areas not previously tested due to weather constraints, as well as the
first drilling at Athena since 2013.
d) Inaugural drilling at Curnamona. Planned: Inaugural drilling within the company’s Curnamona
tenements, will be focussed on three high priority targets with copper and gold potential, defined by
anomalous surface geochemistry and coincident geophysical anomalies. Heritage surveying and
landowner access has now been completed, with drilling scheduled to commence in September.
e) Re-evaluation of legacy data at Uno-Morgans-Harris Bluff. In progress: Re-evaluation of legacy data
covering the Uno-Morgans-Harris Bluff tenements approximately 60km east of Paris is occurring as an
additional priority. This work has incorporated recently acquired gravity data in addition to a substantial
dataset of historic rock chip assaying which was recently uncovered. A number of targets are being
assessed for further drill testing.
f)
Fieldwork at Molyhil. Completed: Site inspection and soil sampling across gravity anomalies were
completed during the quarter. A Native Title heritage survey was also finalised during the reporting period.

CORPORATE ACTIVITIES
Commencement of Managing Director
As previously announced (ASX 3 March) the Board of Investigator was delighted to announce that highly
experienced mining executive Mr Lachlan Wallace has commenced in the role of Managing Director, effective
1 July. This appointment marks the successful completion of the Company’s planned leadership transition,
positioning Investigator to capitalise on its recent achievements and advance its next chapter of growth.
Mr Wallace is a respected mining engineer with over 20 years of executive experience, bringing a proven
track record in project development, operational excellence, and corporate leadership. Critically, Mr Wallace
led the successful development and commissioning of South Australia’s most recent operating mine,
Hillgrove Resources’ Kanmantoo Copper Mine, demonstrating his capability to guide projects from study
through to successful operation.
The Board extends its deepest gratitude to outgoing Managing Director, Mr Andrew McIlwain, who retires
after a period of transformative leadership. Under Andrew’s direction, Investigator achieved significant
advancements across its project portfolio, and he leaves the Company in a robust position for future success.
The Board sincerely thanks Andrew for his unwavering commitment and the lasting contribution he has made
and extends its very best wishes for his retirement.
With the recent successful completion of a $4.3 million capital raise (ASX 17 June) to ensure strong capital
position, the Board is confident that Mr Wallace’s leadership will be instrumental in building upon the strong
foundation established by Mr McIlwain and unlocking the inherent value of the Company’s assets for the
benefit of all shareholders.
Chairman Mr Richard Hillis commented: “On behalf of the Board, I’d like to express our deep appreciation
to Andrew McIlwain for his leadership and the legacy he leaves at Investigator. We also extend our thanks
to Andrew Shearer, Non-Executive Director, for stepping in as interim Managing Director over the past few
months and ensuring a smooth transition. We are now very pleased to welcome Lachlan Wallace as
Managing Director. Lachlan brings extensive experience in resource development and operations, and we
look forward to working with him to take Investigator into its next phase of growth.”
Managing Director Mr Lachlan Wallace stated: “I’m excited to be joining Investigator at such a pivotal time.
The Paris Silver Project is a standout asset with significant potential to become a meaningful Australian silver
producer. Alongside Paris, the Company’s broader portfolio of exploration assets provides a strong
foundation for future growth. I look forward to working with the Board, team, and stakeholders to advance
these opportunities and deliver long-term value for shareholders.”

Capital Raise
During the June Quarter, the Company completed a capital raise for $4.3m (before costs) via Placement to
institutional, sophisticated and other investors to fund exploration. On 25 June 2025, the Company issued
143.3 million new shares at 3.0c per share and 57.3 million attaching IVROB listed options, being 2 listed
IVROB options for every 5 shares subscribed under the Placement with an exercise price of 4.2c and an
expiry date of 24 March 2028. In addition, 28.6 million broker IVRO options were issued as part consideration
to Alpine Capital Management Pty Limited who acted as Lead Manager to the Placement.
The funds will enable Investigator to ramp up exploration activities, including:
Drilling within the Paris Silver corridor (Perseus, Manto and Athena Prospects); and
Drilling at Curnamona.
The funds will also permit completion of the Paris Silver Project DFS.
Cash
The Company held $5.1 million cash in Company bank accounts at 30 June 2025.
Corporate Disclosure and Reporting
In the attached Appendix 5B, the figure of $133k (as disclosed in section 6.1 and 6.2) relates to all fees,
salaries and superannuation paid to Investigators Directors for the June 2025 Quarter.
JMEI Credits
The Company issued a total of $312,498.73 JMEI credits to eligible shareholders for the year ended 30 June
2024. JMEI 2024 Entitlement Statements were dispatched by the Company’s share registry, Computershare
to eligible shareholders on 30 May 2025. The JMEI statement is advisory only and there is no payment.
Further information about the JMEI credit scheme can be found at the ATO website:
Junior Minerals Exploration Incentive | Australian Taxation Office
OUTLOOK
In the upcoming quarter, Investigator anticipates undertaking:
Gravity survey at Athena to assist with drill hole targeting.
Drilling at the Treloars, Redsun and Tombstone prospects within Curnamona.
Review of DFS to ensure that study is capturing the value of the silver price which has increased 30%
in 2025 alone. This will likely result in larger pit, as well as incorporating the newly discovered water
resource at the Hector paleochannel, which provides an opportunity to revise the tailings to low cost
wet tailings storage option.
